I can't believe I'm asking this but...does anyone know of an arrangement for brass quintet of Star Wars..in a disco style?? Need this for a benefit concert in October, believe it or not!
Thanks!

Just add drums to any arrangement. I think the metronome marking for disco was 125. hot hot hot

I think just about any arrangement done with a droning drum machine ought to do the trick- oh, and don't forget to wear those clear platform shoes!

I remember hearing a Maynard Ferguson version of the Star Wars main theme with a disco beat. Perhaps that arrangement could be used and adapted for brass quintet. Sorry I don't know anything about who arranged it or anything.

In the back cobwebs of my brain I seem to remember a Star Wars medly on the radio from the late 1970's that had the disco drum beat under it. But who recorded it safely escapes me.

Has a lot of famous studio guys on it (like most 70's instrumental disco albums).
